Some part of this is the male influencers, and some part of this is kids being ignorant. But being a straight woman in that age group must really suck.
I’m starting to think that being a straight woman just sucks at any point in time, because young men are not the smartest ones on the block. Today’s young women, though, realize that there’s an off ramp.
Almost nobody is the smartest, unfortunately. Good relationships have always been hard to find, and the more discerning you are, the harder it is.
I think we are seeing that more today because historically, marriage was the default and the fact that most of them were bad for one or both participants was known by everyone but never addressed. See the entire genre of “wife bad” boomer humor as Exhibit A.
Even 100 years ago there was social pressure on young men to learn how to behave properly. Being kicked out of the local church meant that you couldn’t hang with your friends and would probably have to leave town.
Today, you can spend 20 hours a day online, hearing exactly what you want to hear.
There is no better proof that one doesn’t choose their sexuality than the existence of cisgender heterosexual women. I mean, hell, transgender heterosexual women, good luck to them, holy fuck.
If all us men died on Nov 24 thr world would be a better place.
That fact will never leave me. I honestly hate myself for existing.
Why dont you get the ball rolling, and fucking kill yourself?
I dunno, by that way of thinking there are plenty of ways of dividing up humanity and saying “if all those people died, the world would be a better place” - I don’t know how constructive it is, though. There’s nothing about being a man that prevents us from being good people, though there may be some things that make it harder
But we seem to always be defined by those bad people
I think I know what you mean. There is a lot of focus and attention being put on the shittier kind of masculinity these days – by some because they hate it, by others because they want to convince the world that it’s actually great and the key to unlocking a golden age.
Even though we don’t talk about better kinds of masculinity, I think that most people just know intuitively that they exist, though… unless they’ve just had horrible luck in life.
I don’t believe that anymore. At best it seems we can only be ‘one of the good ones’
Don’t project your self hate onto everyone? If all men died all humans will die, along with many many domesticated species across the world. Does that sound like a “better place”?
I meant to say all the men in the US.
All the men in the US dying would be insanely devastating for the world too. You really don’t mean that.
I don’t. But I can’t stop thinking about it.
Interesting fact totally ignored by the click-bait headline:
Among women, 18% of gen Z and 6% of baby boomers agreed.
So, among women, support for traditional gender roles tripled.
Those women are about to learn the hard way why women had to fight for their freedom from this oppressive system. Have fun with that domestic violence and financial prison
FFS don’t share journalism that summarises a study without linking to it
You appear to be linking to my own (later) comment
I separated them because to me they are different (related) points and I don’t particularly enjoy seeing people make multiple points when I only agree with one of them. I was also curious how many people agreed we shouldn’t be linking journalism that doesn’t link to the original study
